It extends dbt-core with Redshift-specific connection handling, query compilation, and schema management. The adapter sits between your dbt project and Redshift, translating dbt's declarative transformation models into native Redshift SQL and executing them in your warehouse.\n\nYou use it by installing the package, configuring your Redshift credentials in dbt's profiles file, and then writing dbt models (SQL files and YAML definitions) that describe how to transform raw data. dbt-redshift handles the plumbing: connecting to Redshift, running queries in the right order, managing schemas, and tracking lineage. It's part of the broader dbt ecosystem, which means you get version control, testing, documentation generation, and CI/CD integration for your data transformations\u2014the same practices software engineers use for application code.","worth_installing":"Yes. dbt-redshift is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions (3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13), and carries a permissive license. Install it if you use Amazon Redshift and want to adopt dbt's version-controlled, software-engineering approach to data transformation. It has low install friction and is backed by dbt Labs' ongoing development."},"id":"dbt-redshift","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-redshift","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbt-redshift.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbt-redshift/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dbt-redshift","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The Redshift adapter plugin for dbt"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3888352,"position":2460,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.11.0"}
